The University of Minnesota is the only school in the Big Ten Conference to play off-campus and the only school in the conference to play in a domed stadium. The Gophers are one of only four NCAA Division I FBS football programs to play indoors. At the time of the move, the NFL class facilities of the Metrodome were seen as an improvement over the aging Memorial Stadium. When the Gophers first moved to the Metrodome from Memorial Stadium, attendance increased. However, fans dreamed of fall days playing outdoors on campus. At long last TCF Bank Stadium, which will open at the start of the 2009 season, will provide a beautiful outdoor, on-campus venue. The stadium is six blocks from the West bank portion of the campus and the Seven Corners retail and entertainment neighborhood that serves the University of Minnesota.
